Cars, cruise add extra thrill to Southwoods Invitational

Elevating the Game How Cars, Cruises, and Prizes Add Extra Thrill to Southwoods Invitational

As the Southwoods Invitational 2026 gets underway, anticipation is building not only on the fairways but also off them. For three lucky golfers, the chance to drive away in brand-new cars is just the beginning. Several others stand to win a host of high-end prizes, including a seven-night Mediterranean cruise and a luxury massage chair. But what's behind this impressive prize pool, and how can sponsors and players alike capitalize on the excitement?

The Thrill of the Chase

For years, the Southwoods Invitational has built a reputation for giving away cars, even if no player scores a hole-in-one. This year, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines and Toyota Silang, Cavite, have consistently delivered vehicles through the grand raffle draw. Moreover, BYD is staking a BYD Seal DM-Dynamic for a hole-in-one or for the raffle, further elevating the stakes for the tournament's 800 expected players from 400 teams.

Luxury Prizes Galore

Sponsors are contributing a diverse array of luxury prizes, ensuring the raffle remains a major highlight of the week. Ogawa is offering a premium massage chair, while RCI and Baron Travel are putting up a seven-night Mediterranean cruise aboard Brilliance of the Seas for two, complete with airfare. Okada Manila is staking a casino free play worth P100,000 for a hole-in-one and will raffle off P200,000 worth of overnight accommodation gift certificates with breakfast should no ace be recorded.

More Than Just Cars and Cruises

But what about the golf itself? The tournament will be played over 36 holes, with each team seeing action on both the Masters and Legends layouts. Teams will compete under the Team Aggregate format using the Modified Stableford scoring system, which rewards aggressive play and keeps the leaderboard dynamic throughout the week. While the tournament will crown overall gross and overall net champions, several other honors will also be contested, ensuring competitive balance among participants of varying skill levels.

A Week of Fun and Camaraderie

The Southwoods Invitational 2026 is more than just a golf tournament – it's a celebration of competition, camaraderie, and fun among members and their guests. With its impressive prize pool, dynamic scoring system, and lively atmosphere, it's no wonder this event has become one of the most sought-after member-guest tournaments in the country. So mark your calendars for March 16 and get ready for an unforgettable week of golf, prizes, and excitement!
